It's Living History Day at Schofield Barracks, and all are invited. Here's your chance to be a tunnel rat or chat with reenactors in period uniforms or present-day soldiers.

The event features Bob Kinzler, who was stationed at Schofield the day of the Pearl Harbor attack; Flo Rivera, a Vietnam tunnel rat; Sgt. James Rivera, a decorated combat veteran as a member of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan; and a screening of rare films about the events of Dec. 7, 1941, hosted by Steven Fredrick.

Hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Tropic Lightning Museum. Admission is free. 655-0438.
